- Frontier officials' paramount duty is to hold the city. A senior minister is judged by intent and conduct, not by whether a public petition exists. 疆吏以城守為大節，不宜以僚屬一言為進止。大臣以心跡定罪，不必以公禀有無為權衡。AD 1862 同治元年 · Memorial · Author · Direct quotation · With Guiqing (桂清) · Mode quotation Speaker Zeng Guofan (曾國籓)Directly stated · Draft History of Qing 397, passages 192-193
